WOW!!

I had seen this thread earlier and thought it might be a minor issue at best.

Well, I washed the Jeep today and noticed the slow drip. I thought... "What the hell... I'll drill a small hole"

Damn if a SIZABLE amount of water didn't drain out!!!

Nice Mod!! Very worth doing.

Did mine today, along with removing all my cheesy stickers. looks real clean and drains like a race horse.

Well i just went out and drilled mine, 10:30pm out on the street drilling holes #3 and 4 into my Jeep ... the first 2 holes were to mout the licence plate frame, there were only 2 holes on the left side with a clip on the right ... 4 holes now (did that the 2nd day i had it) .
GOOD TIMES. ... easy mod and fun too.

Ughhh, you people didn't hear? DC made them that way incase people get stranded without water. All they have to do is tap into the mirror and a stream of water comes out for them to drink.

I can't wait to get a JK and do my first ever mod....well at least on a jeep. I did remove a useless piece of plastic under the front bumper on my cousins Kia. LMAO

well, after installing a fulltraction ultimate lift, new bumper, winch, interior parts. AEM intake, and hell a couple more things

I decided I should have enough ability to drill out my mirrors.

I finally did this today... and keep wondering why i didnt do this 4 months ago...

Ridin out

Damn - I guess I will be doing this as one of my first mods! Sounds like a goodun.... I hate water marks after a good Jeep bath.

First project i did is: drilling in the side mirror :toung:

So, I may be one of the biggest drilling procrastinators out there, as I went through the trouble of a CAI install, backseat removal, soft-top removal (from under hard-top) etc., etc., before I got around to the drilling... but FINALLY, the mirrors have been drilled! 5/32" (or was it 7/32"?) bit in a Dremel got 'er done - used whatever I could grab most easily that wasn't auger-sized.

My Jeep's covered in salt, sand, and some mud right now, and hasn't had a bath since the factory, so this mod will get to prove itself on the next nice day I pass by a carwash.

Thanks Rubimon - despite the recent "small mirrors on your vents" upskirt/doors-off mod , you're still the leading contender in the Jeep Academy's "Best Mod for those with NO budget category" voting...

I finally did it, too.

It seemed to add about 3 horsepower and get rid of the water drip...all at the same time.

I'll bet that this mod makes it to the next engineering improvement roundtable on Wrangler production. Mark my word, sometime in the near future, mirrors will come with a weep hole, or will be redesigned not to hold a gallon of water.


Currently on my way out to the garage to remove and drill my mirrors. Carry on.
